SEO FAQs
How important are Google reviews for local SEO?
Reviews are critical, both for rankings and for conversion. Google uses review quantity, recency, and rating as ranking signals for the Map Pack. But beyond rankings, families read reviews before making contact: 72% of people require positive reviews before taking action. IFM helps you build an ethical, sustainable review generation process that improves both your rankings and your conversion rate.
